History
The park was given to Douglas Corporation by the Noble Trustees in April
1909. One of the many good works done for the Island with the money of
Henry Bloom Noble, who died in 1903.
The park had an extensive makeover, which included the newly built
Noble's Pavilion. Built at a cost of 2 million pounds, the modern
leisure complex features a 1500 sq ft restaurant on the ground level,
which opens unto an
extensive terrace and landscape garden. The first floor is a 1,273
community room with kitchen and balcony for private hire. Also included
at the complex
are changing rooms, showers, toilets, lockers as well as offical rooms.
The centenary bandstand, which was previously located at the Villa Marina
has moved next to the leisure centre.

A beautiful and well maintained park, set between Douglas and Onchan.
